After Whistler's death in 1903, his heir and sister-in-law, Rosalind Birnie Philip, commissioned the London printer, Frederick Goulding, to print posthumous editions of many of Whistler's lithographs. Between October 1903 and May 1904, Goulding pulled impressions from 94 stones and transferred and printed 10 previously untransferred lithographic drawings. In this lithograph Whistler has successfully conveyed the soft play of shadows and the effect of light filtering through the trees in the famous Parisian gardens. The statue depicted in this work also appears in Whistler's etching "Polichinelle, Luxembourg Gardens" (Kennedy 430).
